Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 939

Chapter 61 Li Jing General Li Chen has to be sorry

In the main hall of the Menxia Provincial Political Affairs Hall, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the warrior Xun, reported to Yang Gongren and other ministers of the Political Affairs Hall.

The samurai Xun coughed and said, "Over the years, all the furs bought from the grasslands have been used. This time, the Ministry of Industry has raised a total of 18 fur coats, and there are [-] more... felts for horses to keep out the cold. The Ministry of Industry can be regarded as bankrupt this time."

Wei Zheng suddenly asked, "Are all the horses on this expedition equipped with blankets?"

The samurai Xun nodded and said: "In addition, the Ministry of Industry also collected the cotton sent by Anxi to make a total of 18 pairs of cotton trousers and 25 sets of cotton coats..."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Xuancheng, it seems that the most difficult period of the Tang Dynasty has finally passed. With this heavy snowfall, the second year of the Tang Dynasty will be a bumper year."

At this moment, Li Anyan strode into the political affairs hall, and said to everyone: "Ministers, Your Majesty has set up a camp in Beiyuan, and summoned you to discuss matters."

Yang Gongren, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Gao Shilian and others did not dare to neglect, they got up quickly and followed Li Anyan to Beiyuan.

In the large tent of the Chinese army in the Beiyuan of the Taiji Palace, Li Jiancheng was fully armored and stood in front of the map.

Li Jing, Xue Wanche, Qin Qiong, Feng Li, Yuchi Jingde, etc., a group of high-ranking generals of the Tang Army had already sat down on both sides.

The prime ministers walked into the Chinese army camp.

Fang Xuanling frowned when he saw Li Jiancheng was covered in clothes.

Li Jiancheng was full of interest and greeted everyone to sit down.

After everyone was seated, Li Jiancheng said enthusiastically: "Dear dear friends, the strategy for this campaign against Mobei has been determined. Six routes will be dispatched, and Daling River will encircle the northwest. If the Turkic reaction is not timely or slow, it will turn a feint into an attack."

"The second route went out of Hedong, with Li Jing as the commander-in-chief. The main attacking troops fought fast and slow, in order to break through Xieli's tooth tent with a thunderous blow, so that the Turkic ministries would lose the unified command system. The enemy troops were defeated one by one."

"The third route is dominated by the Lingzhou army, attacking northward, and attacking Yinshan from west to east, with Qin Qiong as the commander."

"The fourth route is mainly the Liangzhou army, from Gansu and Su to cross the Heishui River, and attack northward. This attack is a feint. Be sure to leave elite troops to defend Liangzhou, and prevent the Tubo people from taking advantage of the vacancy!"

"The fifth is the Anxi Army, which is mainly responsible for the task of attacking Mobei, along the Jinshan Mountain, all the way to the west, and goes straight to Longting."

"The sixth route, with the army of the twelve guards as the main force, serves as the general strategic reserve team. Which route needs support, the army of the twelve guards will rush to support any route in the shortest time..."

The generals all exchanged glances excitedly.

Li Jiancheng continued: "The decisive battle between the two countries will be in Dingxiang—the Turks will inevitably drive their cattle and sheep, and go south to find food...

Fang Xuanling got up suddenly and interrupted Li Jiancheng's speech.

Fang Xuanling said: "Why did Your Majesty wear armor and hold this court meeting in the barracks? Could it be that Your Majesty wants to use war to govern the country?"

Li Jiancheng was startled for a while, thinking for a long time, but didn't know how to answer.

Everyone in the big tent had different expressions.

After a while, Li Jiancheng took off his helmet and threw it aside in embarrassment, with a displeased expression on his face.

The generals watched the prime ministers off, boarded the car and drove away.

Fang Xuanling walked past the generals.

Niu Junda couldn't help sighing.

Qin Qiong poked Niu Junda.

Niu Junda stared at him and said, "Fang Canjun is such an idiot, he never says anything that makes people happy!"

Qin Qiong tugged at Niu Junda's sleeve.

As if Fang Xuanling didn't hear it, he boarded the car and left.

Wei Zheng looked around, turned around, walked into the big tent of the Chinese army.

There was no one in the big tent of the Chinese army, but Li Jiancheng was still sitting in front of the map, not saying a word.

Wei Zheng walked up to Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, Fang Xuanling has always had this kind of temper. Your Majesty need not be angry about it."

Li Jiancheng laughed and stood up and said, "Why would I be angry with him? If Fang Xuanling hadn't been there in the past few years, how could Datang recover in such a short period of time? How could I have the opportunity to personally conquer the Turks? It's too late for me to thank Fang Xuanling, so why would you blame him for such a small unhappiness?"

Wei Zheng felt relieved.

The next day, in the Xiande Hall early in the morning.

Li Jiancheng sits on top of Danchi with high spirits and complacency.

The ministers went to the hall.

After the ceremony was over, Li Jiancheng waved his hands impatiently and said, "Dear friends, yesterday at the Beiyuan Camp, I have made a plan for the Northern Expedition with all the ministers and senior generals in the army. I am going to the imperial court today. Aiqing, discuss the preparations for the Northern Expedition to Taiwan. I have a preliminary strategy, and I will bring it out first, so everyone can discuss it."

Fang Xuanling stood in the train, looking at Li Jiancheng coldly.

Li Jiancheng continued unknowingly: "Shangshu's right servant shot Wei Zheng, led the northern expedition to Xingtai, and specialized in the supply of food and fodder for the army; Personnel and sub-provincial supply matters are all on duty at the desk. For any personnel, property, food, and materials needed by the Northern Expedition Army, a form is submitted from the Ministry of War to the three provinces for five flowers to judge, and then it is handed over to the Minister of State Supervision. The imperial decree..."

Before Li Jiancheng could finish speaking, Fang Xuanling interrupted Li Jiancheng's words when he came out of the shift and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the military strategy of the Northern Expedition, I have a written statement."

Li Jiancheng smiled, and asked gently: "Xuanling, please tell me."

Fang Xuanling said: "The minister recommended Li Jing to be the general manager of the Dingxiang Road marching, with Li Xiaogong as the deputy general manager, to conquer the Turks in the north.

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, then got up angrily, and walked away.

The officials in the hall looked at each other.

Fang Xuanling looked at the emperor's angry back, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth was even worse.

Li Jiancheng walked up to Fang Xuanling, stared at him intently and said, "I want to conquer Mobei myself."

Fang Xuanling said neither overbearing nor humble: "Don't even dream about it!"

Li Jiancheng finally couldn't hold back his anger, jumped up and shouted: "I am the best general myself!"

Fang Xuanling nodded.

Li Jiancheng pointed at Fang Xuanling and shouted: "The first year of Wude's defeat at Qianshuiyuan, who cleaned up the mess?"

Fang Xuanling said: "It's Your Majesty!"

Li Jiancheng said: "At the time when Luoyang fought Wang Shichong, who was Wang Kuanglan? It was me, and Dou Jiande. If I hadn't sent someone to say that I would surrender to the aristocratic families in the 39 states of Hebei and turn against them collectively, how could Dou Jiande surrender so easily?"

Fang Xuanling looked straight at Li Jiancheng without flinching and said, "But you are the worst emperor!"

The veins on Li Jiancheng's forehead were exposed, and he roared loudly: "Don't think that if you have an appointment with me, you can do whatever you want, if you anger me, I can still kill you.

Fang Xuanling spread his hands and said, "That's why I say, you are the worst emperor!"

Li Jiancheng was so angry that his veins bulged, he pointed at Fang Xuanling and was speechless for a while.

Li Jiancheng was so angry that he left the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and turned to leave the Hall of Xiande.

However, Fang Xuanling persisted and followed Li Jiancheng closely.

Li Jiancheng rushed into the imperial study, and Fang Xuanling followed suit.

Entering the imperial study room, Li Jiancheng angrily threw things around.

Fang Xuanling didn't show any weakness, rolled up his arms and sleeves, followed suit and smashed things, and especially selected expensive objects to start with.

Li Jiancheng was stunned to see that Wei Zheng was planning an expensive screen, so he had to stop and drag Fang Xuanling to a corner.

Li Jiancheng pointed at the screen and said angrily, "Do you know who used that screen?"

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng innocently and said, "I don't know."

Li Jiancheng was so angry that he took a big breath before saying with wide eyes, "King of Lanling!"

Under the door of the imperial study room, Li Anyan suddenly pulled Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Xiangguo, hurry up and persuade Your Majesty, Your Majesty is furious inside."

Wei Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the movement in the imperial study room was less.

Wei Zheng sighed and said, "If Fang Xuanling can't persuade His Majesty, it's useless for anyone to go, unless General Chen is here!"

Of course, what Wei Zheng said was insincere.

He and Fang Xuanling agreed in advance, and he firmly refused to agree to Li Jiancheng's expedition.

Li Jiancheng, like Li Shimin, is both civil and military.In fact, Li Jiancheng used soldiers like other people, extremely restrained and seemingly meek, unlike Li Shimin, who was as fast as the wind and as fast as fire, and Li Shimin liked to take risks very much.Don't look at Li Jiancheng's lukewarmness when he used his troops, that's the worst thing.

During the battle of Qianshuiyuan, Li Shimin won a small victory in the first battle.

However, Li Jiancheng seized the opportunity to take advantage of the internal disharmony in the Western Qin Dynasty to drive a wedge between his monarch and his ministers and expand the internal contradictions in the Western Qin Dynasty. In this way, Xue Rengao had no choice but to surrender.This was exactly the case in the battle of Hebei. Don't look at Dou Jiande pressing Li Jiancheng to fight, but Li Jiancheng sent Wei Zheng to contact the Hebei and Shandong aristocratic families.

Dou Jiande, who became a loner, had to surrender.

As the so-called good fighters have no great military exploits, in history, Li Jiancheng was responsible for the defense of the north, and the Eastern Turks could not advance an inch.On the contrary, as soon as Li Shimin took it back, Jieli Khan led 20 soldiers and horses, approaching the city of Chang'an.

In the imperial study room, Fang Xuanling folded his arms and squinted at the screen, with a serious look of appreciating masterpieces.

Li Jiancheng shook his head helplessly and sighed, and asked Fang Xuanling with a mournful face, "Fang Xuanling, am I so untrustworthy in military matters?"

Fang Xuanling still looked at the screen, and said calmly: "This is not a matter of trust... This screen is just average to me!"

Li Jiancheng asked almost tremblingly, "What's the problem?"

Fang Xuanling leaned closer to the screen again, looked more seriously and said: "Li Jing is in command, and His Majesty will grant him the white banner and yellow axe, and appoint him to lead the army; but, if Your Majesty is the commander, who will award it to His Majesty?" White flag and yellow axe? Who will come to worship His Majesty as marshal?"

Fang Xuanling turned her head abruptly, stared at Li Jiancheng, and asked with a questioning expression: "Could it be that you want to invite the Supreme Emperor out of the Ganlu Palace?"

Fang Xuanling spread his hands, pretending to be innocent and said: "If that's the case, I have nothing to say."

Li Jiancheng was tongue-tied and sat on the ground slumped in anger.

Li Jiancheng asked unwillingly: "In all fairness, in command of the Northern Expedition, is it I who is stronger or Li Jing who is stronger?"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said, "What is the purpose of His Majesty asking this question?"

Li Jiancheng opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Fang Xuanling said: "If His Majesty thinks that he is stronger in the military, so he wants to take command and conquer himself, then His Majesty should give Chen Ying the position of Grand Marshal of the Northern Recruitment Army!"

Li Jiancheng was speechless.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty is stronger than Chen Ying?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Strong... Just a little bit stronger!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Based on the right guard of the Eastern Palace, there are only [-] generals in the four prefectures. Can Your Majesty defeat the tens of thousands of elite Turkic Shibi Khan?"

Li Jiancheng was speechless.

Fang Xuanling said again: "With 20 soldiers and horses, can your Majesty defeat the [-] soldiers and horses under the command of Yehu Khan, the Western Turkic Commander?"

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "I can't!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Why didn't Your Majesty appoint Chen Ying as commander in chief?"

Before Li Jiancheng could finish speaking, Fang Xuanling continued: "In this world, it's not that anyone who is suitable for doing something must do something. I think that I am better than your Majesty in governing the country. Your Majesty, the emperor, can you do it?" Come down as a changeling?"

Li Jiancheng curled his lips in disdain and said, "I'll let you do it, do you dare to do it?"

Fang Xuanling said: "If you dare to give, I will do it."

Li Jiancheng was angry.

Fang Xuanling held back his laughter, and said with a tense expression: "Your majesty can only choose one of them, if you are the son of heaven, or you are the emperor, please sit in the capital and order Li Jing to march in the north; if your majesty is the general, Please return the great treasure to the Supreme Emperor!".

Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling for a while, then said viciously, "I won't return it!"

……

Tong Wancheng, cold and windy.

Regardless of the cold wind, Chen Ying insisted on standing on the city gate and looking north.

Chen Ying was actually thinking, what will he wait for?
Twelve gold medals?
Or a decree?
However, the news from the court has not arrived yet.

Just when Chen Ying felt that he was about to freeze, suddenly a group of cavalry braved the cold and came from north to south.

The distance is too far, Chen Ying can't see clearly.

After a short time, the sound of horseshoes was getting closer.

Chen Ying turned to follow the prestige, and saw Ashina Simo, leading a group of Turkic cavalry, coming slowly.

This is the Lingwu Army formed by Chen Ying when he became the governor of Lingzhou.

The Turks surrendered their troops mainly, but since Yu Sheshe's rebellion, this army has been secretly controlled by Shan Xiongxin, whose alias is Chen Tong.

Seeing that Ashina Simo had turned white, Chen Ying asked, "Go in and be warm!"

With that said, Chen Ying went to the enemy building on the city wall.

During this period of time, Tongwan City, as one of the northern barriers of the Tang Dynasty, assumed the northern barrier.In order to alleviate the suffering of the soldiers in defense, Chen Ying ordered craftsmen to renovate Tongwan City, especially the enemy towers.

Fire walls are built inside, and heated kangs are built in the barracks.

Entering the enemy building, the temperature inside exceeds 25 degrees, and it doesn't feel cold at all.

Chen Ying asked for a brazier to be brought to Ashina Simo and a group of soldiers for them to warm up.

Ashi Nasimo took off his boots, and put the fire on the brazier to roast.

A stench comparable to that of biochemical weapons permeated the air, and Chen Ying hurried to the ventilated position at the door.

Ashina Simo said embarrassingly: "General, Jieli has led the Turkic people south!"

"What?" Chen Ying asked in amazement: "Going south at this time, does he think his life is too long?"

"The situation is correct!" Ashina Simo said: "It is said that there was a rare white disaster in the north. If they did not move south, the Eastern Turks would be frozen to death. According to reliable sources, Jieli led 35 horses and moved south to Dingxiang!"

"Dingxiang?"

Hearing this name, Chen Ying couldn't help thinking, "Li Jing's three thousand cavalry attacked Dingxiang at night, and Su Dingfang's two hundred cavalry attacked the Jieliya tent..."

History seems to be back on its original track.

Ashina Simo went on to say: "Migration from Mobei, the Turks had 60 or 35 horses, and now there are only about [-] people left, and the others died on the way of migration. At this time, the Turks were exhausted and exhausted. !"

Chen Ying's heart skipped a beat.

Tongwan City is only a thousand miles away from Dingxiang.

According to the speed of Chen Ying's trilogy, it is entirely possible to arrive at Dingxiang within three days and three nights.

Chen Ying turned to look in the direction of Chang'an. He didn't want to steal Li Jing's limelight, he wanted to make Li Jing famous, so he gave him the position of Generalissimo of the Northern Expedition.

But right now Xieli has been wandering all the way from the distant Mobei.

Not only is morale low, but people are exhausted.And exhausted, [-]% of the combat power may not be able to exert [-]%.

As long as the strange soldiers appear under the city of Dingxiang, maybe the East Turks will collectively herd sheep.

Chen Ying murmured: "General Li Jing, Mr. Chen has to be sorry!"
