Chapter 100: Winning the Army (Part 1)
"Woo woo..." The tragic and thick ox horn dot sounded, and the right guard led the soldiers to pull the livestock of the sacrifice flag to the battle flag. Li Jiancheng raised his sword and fell to complete the sacrifice ceremony.
Li Jiancheng handed the seal and fish talisman to Chen Ying. Then he said earnestly: "This trip is difficult, and preservation is the key, and killing the enemy is the second..."
Chen Ying understood what Li Jiancheng meant and supported Lingzhou just to deal with the worst situation. If he could, he would not fight, because this new Tang Dynasty really did not have the strength to fight against the Turks.
"I will act according to the opportunity and will not let His Highness be ashamed!" Chen Ying said solemnly.
Li Jiancheng took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Chen Ying and said, "You go to Lingzhou and hand it over to the chief of Lingzhou Yang Ze. Yang Ze is the descendant of Hongnong Yang family and has an old friendship with this palace. Yang Ze will give you more support for the sake of this palace! If he needs your help, you should also do your best to help him!"
“This is natural!”
Li Jiancheng patted Chen Ying on the shoulder and said, "Take it all for yourself, I will wait for you to come back to celebrate your achievements!"
Chen Ying returned to the schoolyard and ordered the removal. The down quilt clothing matter was finally left unresolved. The plan to use Li Jiancheng's knife to get rid of Su Hu was eventually failed, which made Chen Ying very regretful.
However, this matter was not beyond Chen Ying's expectations. Su Hu's wife, Dou, was still irrelevant to Li Yuan. Li Yuan must have turned a blind eye to such a small matter.
Li Jiancheng asked Li Gang to impeach major clans to monopolize down for profit. The Qinghe in the court moved, and in one day, there were as many as hundreds of impeachment memorials. The Guanlong nobles and Shandong noble groups made concessions to Li Yuan under public pressure.
Each company took out monopoly down, or hundreds or dozens, and in short, it finally handed over about 7,000 kilograms of down. These 7,000 kilograms of down are undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for the Right Guard. Chen Ying also contributed the down that the Chen family had previously purchased, and finally barely made a thousand sets of down sleeping bags.
However, Li Jiancheng still gave Chen Ying great convenience within the authority permit. Li Jiancheng transferred 5,600 sheepskins, and on average, each soldier could get at least one sheepskin. Although one sheepskin was not enough to withstand such severe cold, although there were still most gaps, this was the best result.
When living in the temple, he was worried about his king. Chen Ying also understood Li Jiancheng. Although Li Jiancheng was the prince, he did not do anything casually. Li Jiancheng also asked Chen Ying to carry tens of thousands of kilograms of medicinal materials, of course, most of them were applied to the outside.
Chen Ying led the right guard regiment as the pioneer of the army and drove out of the city. He left from Xihuamen and when the pioneer troops reached Xisanshilipu, the two Yi Mansions barely left Chang'an City. This time, Chen Ying brought a lot of supplies to support Lingzhou, and there were only a thousand large trucks transported them.
The snow on the official roads around Chang'an has long been cleaned up by civilians sent by Jingzhao Prefecture. At least within fifty miles west of Beijing, the snow sledge is useless.
Fortunately, Chen Ying made preparations. All the snow boats were loaded with wheels and used as carriages. The wheels could be removed in places where there were snow and turned into snow sledges. This time, Chen Ying supported Lingzhou. The soldiers were the 16th Regiment of the Fourth Palace, but there were more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians, and more than 50 people were led by Li Jing.
The ingredients of these folks are very complicated, including farmers who farm, apprentices in shops, hired workers in workshops, and hunters around them. However, with their own leaders, Chen Ying is missing a lot of things.
The army headed westward from Chang'an. When they reached Yu'an County, the formation of the team was already scattered. After counting the personnel, more than one-third of the soldiers did not follow. The soldiers complained, and the only one who kept the entire system full of staff was Chen Ying's old army, Xun's second mansion, performed remarkably well.
Chen Ying did not order the troops to enter the city. Yuji County is a lower county. It has a population of less than 1,000 households and the city is only more than 800 steps. If all the soldiers of the army are allowed to enter the city, there will be no place to get on the ground.
Shaliangzi, 16 miles from Yueyu County, is a valley that shelters from the wind. Chen Ying ordered his troops to camp here. The cold weather is beneficial to the cold weather. When camping, there is no need to drive piles at all. Put the cut wooden stakes on the ground and pour a pot of hot water. After a quarter of an hour, it is frozen as hard as steel.
The troops started camping from the fourth hour of Shen's time, and until the third hour of You' time, the soldiers who fell behind still did not all catch up. Chen Ying assembled the four built central army command sledges together to form a huge command car. The brazier was raised on the command car, and the car was as warm as spring.
After the Right Guard led the army of the Central Army of the Mansion, the left and right deputy commanders, four Zhechong Duwei and eight deputy commanders of Guoyi arrived, Chen Ying pressed one hand on the hilt of the knife, staring at everyone with sharp eyes.
Chen Ying's face was as gloomy as water, and everyone present felt a sense of silence. It was not really a pity that Chen Ying was annoyed. In fact, Xun Yifu, Yifu and Yifu performed very poorly, and even worse than the civil servants. The civil servants were urged by their respective inner-level chiefs with whips, but instead arrived at the camp on time.
"I don't want to pursue what you have been before! However, your performance really disappointed me." Chen Ying's voice suddenly raised octaves and shouted sternly: "The four 16th Regiment of the Zhechong Mansion, less than 5,000 soldiers, and eighty miles away, actually lost thousands of people..."
The generals didn't dare to breathe. If there were no Xun's two mansions as comparisons, they would be able to refuse. After all, there were many reasons, such as the weather was cold and the road was not smooth. However, Xun's two mansions set out at the same time and took the same road, but they came earlier than any mansion.
The key point is that no one in the Xun Mansion was left behind.
"Where is the military officer"
Ji Tong bowed out, clasped his fists and said, "The emperor is here!"
"All the governments, what crime should the group lose their time? I don't need to tell you about this general?"
Although the recorder joins the army, his duty is not to conduct military affairs, nor is he an assistant officer like the chief of staff, but to hold the responsibility of carrying good and evil bullets like the censor. Ji Tong is equivalent to the supervisor of the Right Guard leading the office.
When they heard this, the generals of Xun's Mansion, Yi's Mansion, and Yi's Mansion were shocked. If they were impeached in such matters, they would probably be impeached as sieves.
Gao Yunquan opened his mouth and finally closed his mouth. At this time, pleading for mercy will probably only backfire.
"Please beg the general!" Right deputy commander He Yuejing knelt on the ground with a pounce, begging for mercy.
This is not a big mistake for He Yuejing. He was originally the Zhechong Commander of the Second Yi Mansion, and his accumulation of merits was promoted to the right deputy. At this time, his troops were the most serious. Until now, there are more than 300 people in the Second Yi Mansion who have not returned to the team. The four regiment commanders of the Second Yi Mansion may have a bleak career.
Chen Ying was neither happy nor angry, and could not see his thoughts.
Sima Lu Decao also knelt down on one knee and bowed, "Please beg the general!"
The generals knelt down at the same time and said in unison: "Please be kind to the general!"
Only the son-in-law Duan Lun is not anxious or impatient.
Chen Ying said: "I can give mercy, but will the Turks beg you? Now, there is such a mistake on the first day of marching. If you arrive on the battlefield, what kind of pride is it? You don't look at the Xun Mansion, the same army, the same equipment, how big is the gap?"
The Right Guard was originally not an army that could fight. Although the soldiers were tall and big, they were not as good as training and had not been baptized by the battlefield. It would be nice not to let sheep on the battlefield.
"This general was ordered to support Lingzhou. The military situation was urgent and Lingzhou was in danger. If this continues, not only will the general not be responsible, but you will not be able to escape. The best result is that we will be dismissed from office and demoted to the people!"
Speaking of this, the generals were silent. Some things were not something that could be fooled at all. This was already the case without war. If it were war, the Turks would never talk to them.
